MY TORNADO POST

I have always been interested in weather phenomenon. I was a block from a deadly tornado in 1967. I have always been concerned about them since being a little kid. My post on tornadoes are meant to inform people of my experience and perceptions about them. I am not a professional meteorologist, but on occasion in my life, people have asked me about planning for events instead of relying on their local weather forecasters. If they know me well they might have felt I am often more accurate that what is on TV.

I rely on the TV, often the Weather Channel, to get some idea of what is going on. Today I felt it was a particularly serious situation in Virginia, so I put up a live post as to the situation. Some of that included my interpretations aided by the experts.

It is statistically unlikely that anyone saw my post and took cover there because of it. But since it is not an impossibility, I stopped where I was going to put up the post. Any chance on helping someone not be surprised by sever weather, I will take when I can.

All of you who poured into my blog today to check up on the Tornadoes post, I hope you went on to check up on your own local weather service warnings if you were anywhere near Virginia.

To find out of my own tornado prediction one hour before the Tornado hit where I was in April of 1967, it is available on the pages side of my blog, in the Weather and Sky photo’s side blog, otherwise named; Benafiaskys or click,  TORNADO! –nearly 41 years old, not forgotten.,

AMAZING JOHN McCAIN

THIS POST RECEIVING AN UPDATE OCT 13

[Since this post is being seen by some on a psychic sort of blog, I have only two big prediction calls which I will mention below.]

JOHN McCAIN is perceived as the most trustworthy candidate, a little ahead of Barack Obama in a new poll. Barack Obama lead on most other so called presidential attributes related to the public perception.

I am a bit surprised by McCain seeming most trustworthy, but we have not had him held up to the exposure of the other two. It is amazing how little we actually know about—–John McCain, who seems to change position’s on issues like one would change sheets.

I suppose you could trust that.

Holy Cow.

My how things have changed since this post first appeared!

The erratic decisions of the McCain campaign, along with an astoundingly unfit for the presidency (or vice presidency) Sarah Palin. She is an expert at diverting answering questions, and making up “facts” to fit the perceived occasion. Some who cannot see through her inadequacies believe she is “strong” and a “straight talker”. No kidding! Somehow, I missed when those blindfolds were handed out, and the American people seem to be seeing trough the; gosh! You betcha! cheer leader ruse as well.

No. I was not for Obama originally. My respect for him has only grown through time. I believe the world has a chance at a kind of redemption it is in sore need of. No. Obama’s positions are not all what I would like, but the Amazing McCain has puled too many dead rabbits out of too many big hats. While claiming only that ; ‘I know how to fix and find’, is not good enough given the challenges our country faces. It will be more of the last 8 years, only possibly less responsible or accountable, though that had once seemed impossible. What a hat!

Center ring under the Big Tent; The Amazing McCain—-He’ll make you believe it is all easy; that he is always right and the other guy always wrong. Oops. Classic conservatism magic dust. Or is that smoke and mirrors?

I banged on my parents door to tell them someone had a gun, while I was watching Lee Harvey Oswald being escorted 5 min. before Jack Ruby short him. I lied in a way, since I had not seen any gun nor heard of one but got that imperative to proclaim feeling.

I predicted a tornado that hit the spot I predicted it at one hour later. I told the boy next to me in last class of the day. 33 died and 1,000 were injured. I never gave other predictions my whole life. Although I can usually tell when my partner if coming home 2 min ahead of time. Maybe 8-9 times in a row once. I have another

TORNADOES LIKELY NOW 4:22 pm. date 4-28-08 on east coast

VIRGINIA If you are near Eastern Virginia check your weather radars right now.

Several rotating super-cells, with tornado warnings, are showing strong tornadic signatures, possibly moving up to 47mph, so they can almost seem to come out of nowhere. One might be threatening to become rain wrapped. You might not even see it coming, so please check your local radar!

Once in a great while, the sky does seem to fall. Let’s hope the ocean will knock these down many notches. However, some are not yet near the ocean.

Tornado headed towards Port Smith, north of Norfolk, Newport News-to Naval Base, let’s see if this one diminishes rapidly, but it still has a strong Doppler signature, as of moment of this blog-4:22pm.

(Note by me. What may look like a funnel cloud above at lower right, actually might be creating significant localized damage on the ground. This photo is not of the current conditions (from NSSL library)).

GOOD signs of the one nearing the coast diminishing!

To read of my own tornado experiences my post; TORNADO! –nearly 41 years old, not forgotten., and Page on Benafiaskys.wordpress.com

{Virginia tornado up-date as of 12:30 east coast time, April 30th. 9 confirmed tornadoes on 4/28/08, strongest a EF-3, likely on the upper end of a 3. That is the one being shown doing most damage to homes on TV news. Here is a link to morre of the story; Colonial Heights }

A SCARY PAST, this way comes?

The other election, the one we do not ever mention, is over the truth.

Instead, we become thrust into the debate over relativity, which is easily prejudiced to our preconceived notions lens on the world, or life. This becomes a debate of degrees of ignorance.

Let us recall a Septembers fateful tale. It has been altered to protect the innocent and guilty alike.

A lot of things will be thrown out to cover over truth, just as they were several Septembers ago. Some will deny what they do know, instead telling us what they need us to know, to go ahead with their own plans. For us to acknowledge this will have seemed cognitively absurd.

Like many Septembers ago, later they will claim there was no way of knowing, well not exactly knowing exactly. But they will have known enough to do for themselves back then, what they did not do for us. They will move facts like furniture in a room. As if exactly expecting the surprising crashed event to follow. Yet tell us straight to our faces. They knew nothing exactly. Who knows anything exactly exactly after all?

Armaments to stop projectiles will suddenly appear on their homes rooftop days before; a cabinet in front of their seat at the table, blocking the view to the window. A guest will be told not to take the bus home anymore, get in a taxi instead to get there. We will wonder why? He always takes the bus. Why has he stopped? Where is the extra money coming from for the taxi? And Why? And where have all the cats gone? They once roamed the room under chairs, and up on valances. Dots seem to be appearing, are they forming lines? Only the future will tell.

After the massive drive by shooting, it will seem as if providence spared their lives. So many other homes on the street were sprayed with fire, and many died. Of course, they did not know what it seemed somehow that one house knew. But we cannot be quite sure. And there is so much fear and rage in the community, they look to that mayors house spared, to do something about the criminals.

FEARS ABYSS

When days ago the street may have avoided cameras on it, so Big Brother would not watch their every move, perhaps misinterpreting something, now nearly every neighbor said; Yes! Put them on every street! Why, even get them into homes of those you think are questionable. We cannot bare another drive by shooting. It is just intolerable. I have nothing to hide!

And so as the story goes; remember the truth getting buried? The truth will be sacrificed for security, and security of the complete kind, needs a never ending source of insecurity to rationalize it. Now that fears have become energized, we are willing to see shooters coming from each and every direction. The fearful become the wiling in this puppet theater. They watch the show, seeming to go along. Never noticing the dots have become strings that go into their heads, their shoulders, even their hearts.

BURIED ALIVE

When facts that come out suggest strongly a prior awareness of a likely cause, and that suggestion is repeatedly undermined as being irrational or unbelievable, we are charged with our own investigation. Unless we wish to live in an unexamined state of deception. A state of deception, is created for control reasons. History is littered with these attendant to the hubris of the players involved. Unfortunately for the willingly ignorant or those just kept in the dark; the darkness descends of the good, the bad, and the indifferent equally.

One way or another, those who wish to dominate others for their own delusions of grandeur, always fall to the Tower of Babble syndrome. Populations begin to feel in their souls that the truth of the universe is somehow not being obeyed, its language no longer comprehended from those placed above others. From the ground up, perceptions come into awareness that the leaders are living inside naked lies.

If the truth sets you free, to alter it; removing context, obfuscating intentions, altering facts that require context to be understood, is to be willing and eager to do something about the problem of freedom, not its defense.

“The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either.”
Benjamin Franklin
